Just to pick out one person, I clicked thru to the service member from Pennsylvania, where I've lived my whole life, US Marines Sgt Jason G. Amores, 29, from Lehigh, PA. Here's his picture:

He was married, with children aged 9 and 3. This was his third deployment.

An unwinnable war with no end in sight. I think we'll remain engaged awhile longer, simply because nobody in power wants to be the one who speaks the truth. Namely, that this was a bad idea from the start, and that all the deaths--despite honorable and dedicated service to their country--have been in vain.
